50/50 Cab-Cab Franc blend. Very 2012-ish with lush dark red fruit and velvety yet still harsh tannins. Enjoyable now with a decant but needs another year for the tannins to integrate a bit more. The Cab has the starring role here with the Franc playing background singer. Would've liked a bit more of the green pepper and tobacco Cab Franc characteristics to show but alas not in this Black List bottling.
